			== Create a New Character ==
			Click the “New Character” button and follow the steps. You can create as many characters as you want so don't spend to much time on your first one. Also, the following new character options can be fully changed later:

			* Gender
			* Portrait
			* Alignment
			* Customize
			Additionally, the race appearance can be changed later. That means that only your '''Class''', '''Abilities''' and everything under '''Packages''' is locked in place upon character creation. If you wish to change class or your starting abilities in the future, you will have to make a new character from scratch - however, you're able to transfer all your items and gold to the new one.
